Had an image of the original painting as my Windows wallpaper at work for a long time. This image is burned into my mind.
You did well pixelifying it. Musta took a while!
You certainly achieved the painterly look of the reference image! Amazing work on this.
I was just going to say - this reminds me a lot of a Miyazaki film. I ended up having too Google it - and am glad I did my research. Lovely job - you really nailed the anime look.
Incredible work. I'm so impressed!
